The sky this morning looked like it could chuck down rain or turn really hot and sunny. Thankfully the sun prevailed, so Ava picked me up from the hospital (my health is still OK) and drove us to GuanDu - a quaint, old pedestrianised town on the outskirts of Kunming. Despite heavy traffic and getting a bit lost, we made it safely. Once parked, we checked out the multi-armed statues in the temples and spotted this cute toad hiding in the mouth of a stone dragon. A wild dancer with her personal band gave up a laugh with her bouncing around and audience involvement [see photos]. After lunch, we headed for DianChi Lake and a nice cool-breezy embankment walk I'd not been to before. An obligatory ice-cream and I was dropped off at home, sunburnt but happy!
